Chapter 602

"Is it directed by Yao Xingning behind the scenes?" He Lingchuan also knew his difficulties, "If I remember correctly, this little Crown Prince isn't very old, right?" "Hmm, only thirteen years old, equivalent to a human infant, learned to speak human language only last year."

So young and already doing such things? By the way, the Demon Emperor's children are not human to begin with.

Fu Shanyue added: "It has a violent temper and kills people at every turn. The first junior teacher the Emperor found to lecture it was a human, knowledgeable but unskilled in magic and martial arts. As a result, the Crown Prince was annoyed by his nagging and ate him directly; the Emperor's scolding was useless, so he had no choice but to find another great demon to teach, which is why there were no more cases of eating the teacher."

It's hard to reason with an infant, and the Crown Prince is at this stage.

"If Yao Xingning provokes it a few more times..."

He Lingchuan frowned: "What good does it do her to incite the Beijia Crown Prince to make trouble at the Pan Shan Residence?"

"Just to vent her anger." Fu Shanyue couldn't help but sneer, "Cen Boqing's conviction is already a nail in the coffin, and cannot be changed."

"This is also adding trouble to the Emperor." He Lingchuan pondered, "At this juncture, it should be better to have one less thing than one more. Isn't she afraid that the Emperor will add more resentment toward her and the Great Minister of Agriculture's family?"

If the Emperor dislikes someone, that person will definitely be in big trouble.

If the Emperor dislikes a family, that family will definitely not have a good end.

"She is a descendant of a famous family, how could she not consider her family?" Daughters of noble families, no matter how angry or sad they are, don't they have this bit of big-picture view? "In the dungeon of Baishajue County, I saw Yao Xingning's speech was measured and her actions were decisive; she doesn't look like a woman who would go crazy when she has an outburst."

Fu Shanyue gently shook the wine in his glass: "You mean, there's someone else behind the scenes trying to mess with me?"

"Isn't it possible? In Lingxu City, aren't you and I surrounded by enemies?" He Lingchuan sighed, "A few days ago, we stayed in the post house, and the post house was bombed; we moved into the Pan Shan Residence, and the Pan Shan Residence had a disaster star enter the door."

This disaster star couldn't even be touched by Fu Shanyue, who could only hide here and drink gloomy wine.

"It seems they don't intend to stop." Previously, he had thought too simply, thinking that as the brightest person in the spotlight, these forces wouldn't dare to move him for the time being, and he could gain some room and time to maneuver.

But the actions of Crown Prince Lingxu also woke him up:

There are always some existences in Lingxu City that are not bound by rules and laws at all! Isn't your vision narrow?

His understanding of the word "privilege" was really not deep enough, he had to reflect on it later.

His opponents indeed didn't dare to take action themselves, but they could borrow a knife to kill.

Regardless of whether Fu Shanyue would be blocked by the Beijia Crown Prince at the Pan Shan Residence, he would suffer a big loss. How to resolve this conflict made Fu Shanyue's head ache just thinking about it.

As for He Lingchuan... the Beijia Crown Prince might order him to be killed on the spot.

Tonight's event was really a wake-up call for He Lingchuan.

The two continued to eat and drink.

He Lingchuan's mindset quickly relaxed. Coming to Lingxu City meant facing stormy waves, and he had long been mentally prepared.

Future hurdles would probably get harder and harder, and he had to be careful.

And the anger on Fu Shanyue's face had also subsided, so he simply changed the subject and chatted with He Lingchuan about the interesting things that had happened in Lingxu City recently.

When they reached the funny parts, the two laughed out loud.

No matter how angry he was, it wouldn't help the big picture, so why should he make things difficult for himself?

Not to mention the Crown Prince of a vassal demon state, sometimes even the Demon King has to deeply understand these two words:

Accept fate!

But not long after, the goshawk flew back to report: "Crown Prince Beijia has set off to return to Tianxin Island. But before leaving, he ordered the guards to kill a dozen servants and set fire to the residence!"

With a "crack," Fu Shanyue crushed his wine glass.

He Lingchuan also stood up abruptly: "Let's go back."

Before they even reached the Pan Shan Residence, He Lingchuan saw firelight soaring into the sky, reflecting red in the night sky.

The fire was very fierce.

The Pan Shan Residence and Lanshan Residence were ten miles apart, and they had rushed back as quickly as possible, so the fire was burning vigorously by now.

The onlookers blocked the main gate tightly. He Lingchuan simply patted the rock sheep, and the latter ran two steps and made a big jump, leaping over the heads of the crowd and landing directly in front of the residence gate.

Fu Shanyue's guards were blocking the gate and evacuating people. Seeing a flying sheep descend from the sky, they were first startled, and then let out a breath:

"Lord He!"

Fu Shanyue was more casual, stepping on the heads of a few onlookers to come over, and his gaze froze after landing.

He had nearly a hundred guards, all living in nearby inns. But after the Beijia Crown Prince broke into the Pan Shan Residence, the goshawk flew over to pass the order, telling all guards to stand by and not act rashly.

Even if the opponent had fewer people, once the Chi Yan guards clashed with the Beijia Crown Prince, they would still suffer a big loss.

However, as soon as the Beijia Crown Prince left, they rushed back to put out the fire and brought the two corpses outside the gate back into the residence.

Even so, there were bloodstains everywhere at the gate of the Pan Shan Residence, sprayed and dragged, scattered in all directions, which was truly shocking.

No wonder the audience couldn't be driven away no matter how they tried.

Such vicious incidents in public were quite rare in the main city area.

After all, those who could live here were either rich or noble.

He Lingchuan rode the rock sheep through the gate, galloping.

The Beijia Crown Prince's guards were very thorough in their mission, setting fire to every building, so the buildings, terraces, pavilions, and waterside pavilions of the Pan Shan Residence were all burning fiercely.

When Fu Shanyue arrived, He Lingchuan had just rushed out of a burning house, carrying two people.

Alive, and coughing incessantly.

Everyone went in and out, rescuing a total of five servants.

All the other servants were dead.

He Lingchuan asked and found out that these people had hidden in various places and didn't go to the main hall, so they didn't become the souls under the palace guards' blades.

Everyone had already extinguished the fire in two buildings, and the remaining fire was still blowing into the garden with the north wind.

The most amazing part of the Pan Shan Residence was the garden landscaping. Now dozens of trees were also on fire, crackling and popping.

He Lingchuan swung his blade to chop down two trees, just barely blocking the fire.

Fu Shanyue gave an order: "Everyone, retreat!"

The guards retreated quickly.

Then Fu Shanyue patted his chest, and a whirlwind flew out from his necklace, spinning rapidly around the burning buildings.

The wind was strong, as if a level-twelve hurricane had blown up on the spot, but the range only covered the Pan Shan Residence.

It didn't show its iconic form, but He Lingchuan knew that it was the Little Mount Fengmo.

The high-intensity cold wind could quickly lower the temperature while isolating the air around the buildings.

In just a few dozen breaths, the fire significantly diminished.

After a while, the open flames disappeared.

Wind can help fire, and it can also extinguish fire. This is called one thing subduing another.

The Mount Fengmo successfully completed the mission and flew back to Fu Shanyue.

The fire had been extinguished, leaving the Pan Shan Residence charred and scarred.

The garden, which had been meticulously refined for over a hundred years, had been half destroyed.

He Lingchuan walked two steps, pushed aside a few charred wood pieces, sat on a big rock in the garden, and slowly clenched his fists.

The Pan Shan Residence was very comfortable to live in, and it was the ideal residence he had dreamed of in his previous life.

The Beijia Crown Prince's fire burned away his dream from his previous life.

All the black smoke and charcoal seemed like silent mockery of him.

Fu Shanyue didn't have a good look on his face either, but he still stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "This can't just end like this! You stay in an inn tonight, I'm going to enter the palace overnight to seek justice."

He turned to leave after speaking, but He Lingchuan called him back: "Wait!"

"Hmm?"

"It's not appropriate to rush over now." He Lingchuan looked up at him, his eyes red, not knowing if it was from the thick smoke or anger, but his voice was unusually calm, "The matter has already happened, we need to give all parties some time."

"Give some time?" Fu Shanyue was stunned.

"The residence of the Chi Yan Crown Prince has been destroyed for the second time. This news will spread throughout the upper and lower main cities by noon tomorrow at the latest, and the impact will be extremely bad." He Lingchuan said slowly, "Why don't you wait and see? The Beijia Crown Prince just left, and if you rush to Tianxin Island right after, I'm afraid..."

Fu Shanyue was a smart person, but his anger had driven away his calmness. Reminded by He Lingchuan, he immediately reacted:

"Hmm, this isn't a good time to go to Tianxin Island, it won't be too late to let it ferment for another night."

He was the victim and retained the right to pursue accountability.

"This matter must have someone pay the price!" He comforted He Lingchuan, "The Pan Shan Residence is destroyed, I'll get you another good place to live."

"No rush." He Lingchuan waved his hand, "Nineteen people died in the residence, we need to provide generous compensation."

"As it should be." Fu Shanyue pointed to a few groups of guards, letting them hire people to clean up the Pan Shan Residence and handle the aftermath for the deceased.

Then he waved his hand and said to the other guards: "Back to the inn, we'll go to Tianxin Island tomorrow!"

Suddenly, a thunderbolt streaked across the night sky, rumbling incessantly.

The weather had changed.

He Lingchuan looked up at the sky, remembering the first prophecy of the Wood Spirit Venerable, it should be considered fulfilled, right?

If he hadn't gone out in the morning, he would most likely have been blocked in the Pan Shan Residence by Crown Prince Huan.

No, that's not right, most likely someone determined he was in the residence, which is why they found Crown Prince Huan to deal with him.

Against an unreasonable power, his little reliance was useless. As long as he met Crown Prince Huan head-on, no matter the result, it would be a disaster for him.

A single sentence from the Wood Spirit Venerable allowed him to easily avoid a major crisis.

It seems that this prophecy left by the ancient person specifically for him is indeed worthy of attention.

Thunder rolled, and in the second half of the night, a torrential rain suddenly poured down.

Tianxin Island.

More than a dozen palace guards stood guard in the rain at the Jinghong Ferry, monitoring people coming and going for the past three hours. Everyone was dripping with water, and the oil cloaks couldn't stop such heavy rain at all, soaking them completely from inside out.

The leader of the palace guards came over for the third time to ask: "Still haven't come? His Highness is anxious."

His subordinates shook their heads.

"He wouldn't have already slipped through, would he?"

A palace guard said: "The subordinate has seen Crown Prince Yue no less than five times, I won't recognize him wrong. Besides, he probably wouldn't come alone, at least he would bring some subordinates."

The Chi Yan Crown Prince is also a person of status, how could he enter and exit the Jinghong Ferry alone? "He really hasn't come? It's almost dawn."

The leader was anxious.

Crown Prince Beijia ordered them to intercept Fu Shanyue here, and specifically instructed that no matter how many people Fu Shanyue brought, they should beat him up as soon as they met! He burned Fu Shanyue's house, and Fu Shanyue didn't dare to confront him face-to-face, but he would definitely go to complain to his father behind his back.
